Romans 14:13

Do Not Pass Judgment On One Another

¹² So then, each of us will give an account of himself to God. ¹³ Therefore, let us no longer criticize one another. Instead decide never to put a stumbling block or pitfall in your brother’s way. ¹⁴ (I know and am persuaded by the Lord Jesus that nothing is unclean in itself. Still, to someone who considers a thing to be unclean, to that one it is unclean.)
